I pray that you are correct.

Its late and I dont have my history book around, but I cannot believe that the US Army hasnt taken a single large city defended by an enemy?

Mexico City is not a city? Vicksburg is not a city? Souel (sp) is not a city? Hue is not a city?

I appreciate the point about the US Army being risk-averse--and thats a good strategy--but come on...we've taken cities before and we will take them again.
